I downloaded opencv 2.4.5 for linux and I wanted to use on eclipse IDE, I examined java guide its website, and according to that guide I must create user library and add external jar file which opencv-2.4.5.jar named.Although I did not find this jar file. How can I do to work in Eclipse on Linux ?
First, go to this link http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/desktop_java/java_dev_intro.html#java-dev-intro , then follow the instruction, until you type "make -j8"(include this command).
mark this carefully in the link:Besides all this will create a jar containing the Java interface (bin/opencv-244.jar) and a native dynamic library containing Java bindings and all the OpenCV stuff (lib/libopencv_java244.so or bin/Release/opencv_java244.dll respectively). We’ll use these files later.
You may confuse when you follow the ecllipse java setup instruction link:http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/java_eclipse/java_eclipse.html#java-eclipse
Especially when you see this figure, You may wonder where to find the jar and the Native library location. 
.
Jar is in build/bin/, Native libary location your should choose build/lib.
This is my setup snapshot:
That is all. Remember that after you download the sourcecode, you need to build it, otherwise you won't get the /build directory. I don't have tried setup this at Windows, but I think the .exe file will make the /build directory existed for you. Probably that is why the instruction take it for granted, which is not the case for linux user.
